Event at the Olympic Park

Red Bull Crashed Ice Downhill in Munich officially carries the label of a world championship, giving the event in the Olympic Park an added distinction. Red Bull Crashed Ice combines ice hockey and ski cross, offering the audience plenty of action and excitement. On the nearly 400-metre-long ice track, which is still being prepared at Munich’s Olympic Park, four skaters will compete against one another at a time this coming Saturday, with the first two in each heat qualifying for the next round. This knockout format continues until the winner of the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championship in Munich is decided after the final. Celebrities expected

The up to 35,000 spectators expected in Bavaria on Saturday can already look forward to plenty of famous faces from the world of winter sports. Alongside former Norwegian skiing star Finn Christian Jagge, considered by insiders a dark horse for the world championship title, the starting list also includes numerous ice hockey professionals who currently play or have played in the DEL. Anyone hoping to be crowned the new Red Bull Crashed Ice world champion on Saturday evening will sooner or later have to beat top favourite Jasper Felder, who is travelling to Munich from Sweden. Jasper Felder has won no fewer than seven world championship titles in this spectacular winter sport discipline, making him the record world champion.
